A powerful and timely masterpiece
The Crucible
22 April 2026 to 25 April 2026
Epworth Hall
Arthur Miller's gripping political history play about Salem in 1692 (and McCarthy's 1950s America) is a timeless warning to us all.
This intense drama promises to be a theatrical highlight of 2026, showcasing the dramatic talents of our company in one of the greatest plays of the 20th century.
Consumed by paranoia, superstition and a ruthless sense of justice, a climate of fear and mass hysteria sweeps through the town of Salem, Massachusetts when rumors grow that a group of girls are practicing witchcraft.
What lies are the townspeople prepared to tell themselves in order to survive?

Welcome
I first became involved in non-professional theatre in Helston in 1977 when I joined Meneage Arts Players for their pantomime Mother Goose. That was the start of a lifelong passion for the theatre and I am very proud to be the current Chairman of Helston Theatre Company which was born from the coming together of Meneage Arts Players and Helston Musical Theatre Company in 2010.
Our versatile and talented company present up to 4 major productions each year making us one of the busiest amateur theatre companies in Cornwall drawing members from Penzance to Truro. We pride ourselves on presenting the very best theatre and it is great to see us receiving wider recognition of our work from the Cornwall Drama Association and National Operatic and Dramatic Association.
Whether performing on-stage; working back stage or greeting our audience front of house, our members are the lifeblood of the company and we are always looking for new people to join our theatre family. If you would like to be involved please see the information elsewhere on this website; you'll be very welcome.
Paul Blaber
Chairman
